    I am currently pursuing a career in medicine because I have always had a passion for helping others and making a positive impact on the world. As a young mother, I am inspired every day by my daughter to work hard and strive for success in my medical career. She reminds me every day of the importance of compassion, empathy, and perseverance. As her mother, I want to set an example for her by showing her that with hard work and dedication, we can make a positive impact on the world around us. I plan to make a positive impact on the world through my medical career by dedicating myself to providing quality healthcare to those in need, regardless of their background or circumstances. I believe that everyone deserves access to proper healthcare and I want to do my part in ensuring that this becomes a reality. I have always been passionate about helping others and making a positive impact on the world. Growing up, I saw firsthand the struggles that many people face when it comes to accessing quality healthcare, and this inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. One thing that inspires me to keep going every day is knowing that the work I do as a future healthcare provider has the potential to change someone's life for the better. Whether it's diagnosing an illness, performing life-saving surgeries, or simply offering comfort and support to patients, I know that every small act of kindness can make a significant difference in someone's life. One of the main ways I plan to make a positive impact on the world through my medical career is by working in underserved communities. I believe that every one deserves access to high-quality healthcare, regardless of their background or financial situation. By serving in these communities, I hope to improve health outcomes for children who may not otherwise have access to proper medical care. In addition to providing direct patient care, I also plan to advocate for policies that address social determinants of health such as poverty, education, and access to nutritious food. These factors play a significant role in determining an individual's overall health and well-being, and addressing them can lead to better health outcomes for entire communities. Through my dedication and hard work, I hope to leave a lasting impact on the world by improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities around me. My ultimate goal is to be able to look back on my career with pride, knowing that I have made a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Overall, I am committed to using my future career in medicine as a platform for promoting health equity and advocating for those who may not have a voice. Through compassionate care, advocacy efforts, and community engagement, I hope to contribute towards building a healthier and more equitable society for all individuals, especially children like my daughter.
